Join us for a vibrant celebration of Ukrainian culture at our annual Pysanky Easter Egg Decorating Workshop, presented by the Ukrainian Arts T.O team. Discover or rediscover the beautiful art and tradition of making pysanky, and experience the joy of creating your very own Ukrainian Easter egg masterpiece!

You don't need to be Ukrainian or an artist to join us! Our workshop is suitable for ages 6 and up, and we welcome all skill levels. Participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and all participants (including accompanying adults) must register.

Learn the ancient art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decorating-- a sacred and meditative practice. Pysanky, as these eggs are known in Ukrainian, are made using the wax-resist "batik" method, in which designs are drawn or written onto the egg with beeswax, and then submerged in a series of dyebaths. Pysanky are often very intricate and include layers of meaning, imbued with symbols of protection and goodwill.
